Holly-day Tags

Hello!

I have a Christmas staple for you today…a holly cut file, we all need some holly for our Christmas crafting, right? :) There are 3 different shaped leaves included so you can cut multiples of the central shape for a more symmetrical look or mix them up.

I started my annual Christmas tag making session today, I reckon I’ve got about half of them done, another chunk to do tomorrow and that should be enough. I used the stocking from last years Christmas 1 Cut File set for my tag which I cut in kraft coloured card and again in white card for the backing to write my message on. I cut the top, heel and toe parts in a red and white gingham and attached to the stockings then embossed a snowflake pattern on them with a texture plate. I popped in a white eyelet and threaded with some red and white bakers twine. I cut some green holly leaves from today’s freebie, I folded them slightly to add some dimension then placed a glittery dome in the middle to represent my berries.

It’s a Cracker!

Hiyah!

Today I bring you a Cut File with a set of Christmas Crackers, you get a choice of 3 different edges, a straight edge, a zig-zag edge and a scalloped edge. I also have the straight edge and zig-zag edge versions for you as templates, simply print onto the reverse side of your chosen paper and cut along the solid lines with your scissors or craft knife and fold along the dashed lines. You could fill them with wrapped chocolates or you could personalise each Cracker with a name on the outside and a stocking filler inside, anything goes really…as long as it fits inside ;)

I chose the scalloped edge version for my Cracker today, the paper I picked was very thin so I also cut a card layer to make the finished Cracker much more sturdy. I folded all of the score lines (dashed lines) then rolled up the Cracker and overlapped one of the sections and stuck into place with double sided tape, this leaves you with a Hexagonal (6 sided) Cracker. I cut a couple of Snowflakes from here and here, I covered one with glitter then layered with 3D foam pads and added some gems and popped onto the middle of the Cracker. While I had the glitter out I added a strip of double sided tape to the ends of the Cracker just inside the scallops and covered with the clear glitter. I closed the ends up with some seam binding and tied into a bow then added some more gems because you can’t have too much glitter or sparkle at Christmas.

Winter Bendy Card & Christmas Corners

Hi Guys!

Yes, I have yet another bendy card for you today but in my defense I have had this one planned for quite a while and I promise I won’t make any more in a rush…well maybe a New Year version…and then there’s Valentines Day, lol.

I had a request for some decorative corners so I’ve made some Christmas-y ones for you today, there is one with a Snowflake that matches today’s Winter Bendy Card and one with Holly that matches the Seasons Greetings Bendy Card. The idea is that you can use the Christmas Corners on their own or with the middle panels from the bendy cards for a completely different look just as I have done today for my card. I hope you like them :)
